Williams was shot multiple times outside Club Lo at Bostwick Avenue and Pine Street. Bryant said detectives are following some leads in the case and hope to make an arrest soon.

Another man was shot in the buttocks. That victim was treated at Bridgeport Hospital, but was later released.

Police on routine patrol in the industrial area south of the railroad tracks heard multiple gunshots shortly after 2 a.m. Saturday and found the two men sitting in their car in front of the nightclub. Investigators on Sunday said a vehicle with passengers was lying in wait for one of the victims, and when he went to his car the suspects opened fire.

Williams, of Bunnell Street, spent five days in critical condition at Bridgeport Hospital before he was taken off life support Tuesday and died.

He is the fifth homicide victim in Bridgeport this year and the first in February.

A family member said on Facebook that Williams, who is a father, was surrounded by his family when he died.

Williams, a reputed member of the Stack Boyz gang known as "Pig" and "Nudie", was given a suspended sentence Feb. 14 in Superior Court in Bridgeport after he pleaded guilty to interfering with police and illegal possession of a weapon in a motor vehicle.
